5 months ago


Gloucester, United Kingdom Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Are you an advanced clinical practitioner looking for a truly cross organisational role? Are you looking to be part of something new and exciting in Gloucestershire? If so, we have a fantastic opportunity for you to be part of our fully integrated Virtual Ward. We are recruiting a team of experienced and enthusiastic clinicians to establish a Virtual Ward Hub for Gloucestershire and provide the link between our community teams and acute hospital pathways.

As an advanced clinical practitioner you will work alongside the acute and community teams to manage a caseload of patients with a range of medical conditions, and act as an escalation point for patients who are being managed at home on a virtual ward pathway. You will have close working relationships with specialist acute teams such as respiratory, frailty and cardiology as well as with community teams. You will have a high level of expertise in diagnosis and management of acute clinical presentations, and be flexible in your approach.

The postholder will take part in a rota providing cover to the Virtual Wards from 8am - 8pm seven days per week. Initially the hub will be located at the acute hospital site and the team will work alongside the medical SDEC staff, there will be an expectation of flexibility of base across community and secondary care as the service develops.

We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds including those who wish to work less than full time.

The ACP will provide an advanced level of expert clinical care and ensure that evidence
- based practice is inherent in all aspects of care and treatment. You will work as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, working closely with acute and community practitioners, taking referrals from Primary and Secondary Care across Gloucestershire localities, and reviewing patients who can be managed at home.

The Virtual Ward programme is a truly whole system initiative.

This role will be employed by the acute trust with an honorary contract with our community provider GHC - we believe that this role is crucial to the interface between community and secondary care, and this role will build on the great partnership working already established between the 2 providers for the delivery of excellent care. We are fortunate that Gloucestershire has a single acute trust, and single community provider, which provides excellent conditions for a cross
- system roles such as this.

Our digital partner Doccla has a wide range of Virtual Ward experience from other systems - and we are leading the way with two way integration into our electronic patient records.

Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust operates hospitals on our two main sites in Cheltenham and Gloucester, and we’re one of the largest NHS Trusts in the country. We have a workforce of 8,000+ staff across both sites.
